Covalently Supported Imidazolium Salts In Catalysis

2020

Synthesis and catalytic applications of supported imidazolium salts covalently linked to the proper support are described. As supports here we report, among others, the use of amorphous and mesoporous silica, polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes, magnetic-based silica, polystyrenes, halloysite nanotubes, carbon nanoforms such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanohorns, graphene. The catalytic applications have been divided into two main sections, metal-free based and metal-based reactions.

Mesoscopic structural organization in triphilic room temperature ionic liquids

2013

Room temperature ionic liquids are one of the most exciting classes of materials in the last decade. The interest for these low melting, ionic compounds stems from both their technological impact and the stimulating plethora of structural and dynamic peculiarities in the mesoscopic space-time scales. It is nowadays well-established that they are characterised by an enhanced degree of mesoscopic order originating from their inherent amphiphilicity. In this contribution we highlight the existence of a further degree of mesoscopic complexity when dealing with RTILs bearing a medium length fluorous tail: such triphilic materials (they simultaneously contain polar, hydrophobic and fluorophilic m…

Ion pair recognition receptor based on an unsymmetrically 1,1'-disubstituted ferrocene-triazole derivative.

2012

The ferrocene-triazole derivative 4, available from 1,1'-bis(diazido)ferrocene by sequential functionalization through click-type chemistry and the Staudinger reaction, is elaborated as a lab-on-a-molecule for the selective sensing of HP(2)O(7)(3-) and Hg(2+). Receptor 4 behaves as a ratiometric fluorescent probe for HP(2)O(7)(3-) with a good selectivity over other anions, whereas in the presence of Hg(2+) it modifies the fluorescent emission of the pyrene unit, acting as a selective on-off fluorescent sensor for Hg(2+) with a low detection limit. The most salient feature of compound 4 is its behavior as an excellent electrooptical ion pair recognition receptor able to simultaneously recogn…

[1,2,3]Triazolo[1,5-a]pyridyl phosphines reflecting the influence of phosphorus lone pair orientation on spectroscopic properties

2010

A series of new triazolopyridine-based phosphines has been prepared. These compounds revealed unexpected spectroscopic patterns. In particular, the NMR spectra are highly dependent on the relative conformational preference of the phosphine substituent at C7. Here, we report on their complete NMR analysis, X-ray structures and DFT calculations that confirm the particular arrangement of the phosphorus lone pair orbital related to the substituent pattern of the chosen phosphine.

Molecular “Pincer” from a Diimidazolium Salt: A Study of Binding Ability

2013

The anion recognition ability of the dicationic imidazolium salt 3,3′-di-n-octyl-1,1′- (1,3-phenylenedimethylene)diimidazolium 1,5-naphthalenedisulfonate ([m-Xyl-(oim)2][1,5-NDS]) was investigated in acetonitrile solution by means of proton NMR titrations. A wide range of anions, comprising simple inorganic ions, halides, and mono- and dicarboxylates was taken into account. The study showed that this receptor binds carboxylate anions more strongly than halides. Moreover [m- Xyl-(oim)2][1,5-NDS] displays selectivity for di- over monocarboxylate anions. The complex stability was mainly affected by the anion basicity in the presence of monocarboxylates, whereas the flexibility of the alkyl cha…

Novel isatin-derived molecules activate p53 via interference with Mdm2 to promote apoptosis

2018

International audience; The p53 protein is a key tumor suppressor in mammals. In response to various forms of genotoxic stress p53 stimulates expression of genes whose products induce cell cycle arrest and/or apoptosis. An E3-ubiquitin ligase, Mdm2 (mouse-double-minute 2) and its human ortholog Hdm2, physically interact with the amino-terminus of p53 to mediate its ubiquitin-mediated degradation via the proteasome. Thus, pharmacological inhibition of the p53-Mdm2 interaction leads to overall stabilization of p53 and stimulation of its anti-tumorigenic activity. In this study we characterize the biological effects of a novel class of non-genotoxic isatin Schiff and Mannich base derivatives (…

Organocatalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of Pyrazoles Bearing a Quaternary Stereocenter

2016

An efficient one-pot asymmetric synthesis of pyrazoles bearing a chiral quaternary stereocenter has been developed. Quinine-derived thiourea catalyzed the enantioselective addition of pyrazolones to isatin-derived ketimines, providing the corresponding acetylated pyrazoles after in situ treatment with Ac2O/Et3N. The corresponding pyrazoles were afforded in high yields and excellent enantioselectivities.

Bioadhesive Matrix Tablets Loaded with Lipophilic Nanoparticles as Vehicles for Drugs for Periodontitis Treatment: Development and Characterization

2019

Periodontitis treatment is usually focused on the reduction or eradication of periodontal pathogens using antibiotics against anaerobic bacteria, such as metronidazole (MTR). Moreover, recently the correlation between periodontal diseases and overexpression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) led to the introduction of antioxidant biomolecules in therapy. In this work, bioadhesive buccal tablets, consisting of a hydrophilic matrix loaded with metronidazole and lipophilic nanoparticles as a vehicle of curcumin, were developed. Curcumin (CUR)-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) were prepared using glycyrrhetic acid, hexadecanol, isopropyl palmitate and Tween&reg

Experimental and DFT Studies on Competitive Heterocyclic Rearrangements. A Cascade Isoxazole-1,2,4-Oxadiazole-Oxazole Rearrangement

2009

The thermal rearrangements of 3-acylamino-5-methylisoxazoles 1 have been investigated under basic and neutral conditions and interpreted with the support of computational data. The density functional theory (DFT) study on the competitive routes available for the base-catalyzed thermal rearrangement of isoxazoles 1 showed that the Boulton-Katritzky (BK) rearrangement, producing the less stable 3-acetonyl- 1,2,4-oxadiazoles 5, is a much more favored process than either the migration-nucleophilic attack-cyclization (MNAC) or the ring contraction-ring expansion (RCRE). In turn, an increase in reaction temperature will promote the MNAC of oxadiazoles 5, producing the more stable 2-acylaminooxazo…
